The
Room HQ
No curriculum. No hovering adults. Just space to breathe and build. At Ashland HQ in Venice Beach. Inspired by six students who lost their homes in the Palisades, and found a new one at Ashland HQ. Invite only.

Rooftop Workspace
- Ocean views. Great for catching some sun and for independent work.
